What is the Gen 4 concave topped extractor pictured on the above thread? Page (4)

Could this all be poor pistol marksmanship and limp wristing with blaming the gun?

Anyway, I hope we can get some relevent answers, rational discussion and hard evidence (pictures are nice).

I own glocks, shoot glocks and also own and shoot 1911s. THIS IS NOT A GUN BASHING THREAD.

Please refrain from turning this into an ego fest. Facts only and 1st person experiences. Thank you and lets get to the bottom of this.

As the creator of this thread I ask at this point that any and all threads about YOUR gun include the following information:

- First 3 letters of serial # and or test fire date from factory.
- Generation of Glock (3 or 4)
- Number of rounds TOTAL fired through pistol
- Any changes made to pistol by you or armorer or Glock (parts etc.)
- Issues you are having.
- Ammo used during issues (manufacturer, weight etc.)

Reason: page number insertion. addition.

For defensive carry I have shot and carry Speer gold dot. I have also burned through some 140+ grain stuff.

I have never had so much as a burp, FTE, FTF, nothing. I have done rapid fire, shooting on the move, drills, mag changes, shoot until slide lock back etc. No hickups. I believe mine are fine. My extractors don't have this supposed "curve" or "concave" depression on them either.

Speaking as one of the contributors to the thread you cite, I can assure you there are no "ninjas" posting in the thread. Did you think the pictures and firsthand experiences related there were fabricated?

Glock extractors didn't use to do these things. As I relate on my blog, I had to polish mine to make it drop in without binding slightly in my slide.

I couldn't help but stumble upon an issue today while reading some threads online. Perhaps I have been under a rock, because I had not heard of this internet "glock extractor mania" until today.

The opinions and expertise found on the resource of M4carbine.net is where I believe the rumors can be boiled away and the facts brought out.

The issue is that supposedly many 2010-2011 glocks, including Gen 3's were issued or shipped with extractors that are different from Gen 3's from 2009 and earlier.

Limp wristing is a bullshit excuse perpetuated by 1911 owners to mask inaedquacies in their weapons. Most of the people in the thread TacMedic linked to are graduates of the Vickers Advanced Tactical Pistol class. They were NOT limp wristing.

Thanks LB. I did not mean to insinuate you were a pajama ninja. It just seems that sometimes the internet seems to blow things out of proportion. Appreciate the photos on the thread and your research. Where does one find GLOCK Inc. extractors on the market? If I wanted to order the older non-dip LCI ones, where would I look?

LoneWolf has them in. I'm waiting on the LoneWolf made LCI ones myself, currently on back order.
